Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM ESPRESSO MACHINE.
• Always place the unit on a flat, level surface.
• Do not operate without water in reservoir. Fill only clean and cold water into the water reservoir. Observe the maximum filling volume is 1.5 litres.
• Do not operate without the drip tray and cup rest plate in position.

therefore avoid any direct contact with the steam nozzle.
• Hot water or hot steam ejected by the appliance can cause scalding. Only activate the steam nozzle when holding a container underneath.
• Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet if there is any problem during the coffee making process or prior to cleaning and maintenance.
• Never put any part of this appliance into the dishwasher. Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven. Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such appliances should always be returned to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected, return the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend the use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid unless recommended.
About espresso coffee
Sunbeam’s extensive experience in designing quality, long-lasting appliances has enabled us to develop a range of pump espresso machines that are as beautiful as they are functional. As well as incorporating the learnings from commercial machines to ensure café quality coffee, ease-of-use was an important dynamic in the design of the Café Barista™.
The Sunbeam Café Barista™ is automatic, completely removing any guesswork from making espresso coffee. At the push of a button the machine will grind the coffee beans, place the correct dose of coffee grinds into the filter, tamp it and pump the precise amount of water needed to produce a shot of espresso. As a result, each time you make an espresso with the Sunbeam Café Barista™ you are assured a consistent taste every time.
As coffee continues to be an integral element of Australian culture, the demand for the perfect cup is ever increasing. A growing favourite for coffee lovers in Australia, at any time of the day is the Caffe Latte. To accommodate these style of drinks, the height of the espresso pour spouts are adjustable. Ideal for all styles of cups – bring the spouts down for espresso cups and for those that prefer a Caffe Latte or a Long Black raise the pour spouts for taller cups.
Drinking authentic café quality coffee at home is guaranteed with a Sunbeam espresso machine. The simple to use design of the machine allows you to enjoy the sweet aroma and taste of the perfect shot of espresso with its signature golden crema every time.
What makes a good coffee?
Sunbeam has consulted with experienced coffee makers and appreciators of coffee through every stage of design, to ensure the machine delivers a great espresso coffee every time. There are many factors that contribute to the perfect coffee. The words’ ‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used when describing the perfect cup.
The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect espresso coffee is largely due to the correct combination of temperature and pressure during the brewing process. The ‘thermoblock’ heating system ensures the water is at the correct temperature, so that the full coffee flavour is extracted. Secondly, the Italian made 15 BAR pump ensures the correct pressure at which the liquid espresso is released from the pour spouts. The pour should be steady and consist of both liquid and cream. This cream is known as the ‘crema’. The perfect ‘crema’ should be a golden colour and be thick and stable, preserving the coffee flavour, aroma and temperature.
We hope you have many enjoyable coffee experiences with the Sunbeam Café Barista™.

Features of your Sunbeam Café Barista
One touch operation
The Café Barista™ is an automatic espresso machine that takes the guess work out of making espresso coffee. It grinds the coffee beans, dispenses the ground coffee into the filter, tamps it and pumps water through to produce a consistent shot of espresso every time – all with the touch of a button.
15 BAR pump – Italian designed & manufactured
Supplies the correct and essential pressure necessary for full extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.

Features of your Sunbeam Café Barista™ (continued)
‘Thermoblock’ heating system
Ensures the precise temperature is achieved. As espresso is made with hot, rather than boiling water, the ‘thermoblock’ heats the water to 92°C (just below boiling point) for optimum extraction of oils from the coffee grinds. Temperatures above this will burn the coffee grinds.

Secrets to the perfect cup
With a Sunbeam pump espresso machine and a little experience, you can create café quality coffee at home. As there are a number of possibilities for making coffee to meet your personal taste, following are a few helpful suggestions:
• The origin of the bean and roasting will affect the taste of the espresso, so test different brands of coffee to find the one that you like best.
• The grind of the coffee is critical. Vary the degree of grinding to find the right fineness for the coffee beans being used.
• A regular shot of espresso, the base of all café coffees is approximately 30mLs. The shot of espresso is a concentrate; vary the quantity of milk to determine the strength and volume of the coffee. If you are using a large coffee cup or mug you may require a double shot of espresso, rather than just a single shot depending on your taste.
• Always use the freshest beans or ground coffee available and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place.
• Whole coffee beans stay fresh longer than pre-ground coffee.
• Pre-warm cups prior to making an espresso, either by filling with hot water or placing on the warming plate.
• Always use cold milk and a clean stainless steel jug when texturing/frothing milk.
• Don’t boil the milk when steaming. The ideal temperature is when the jug becomes too hot to touch.
• Once prepared, serve coffee immediately.
• Keep the espresso machine clean. Familiarise yourself with the ‘Care and Cleaning’ section of this book.

Preparing your Café Barista
™
• Position the espresso machine onto a stable, flat, dry surface.
• Attach the coffee bean hopper onto the espresso machine. With the hopper in hand, align the arrow on the base of the hopper with the ‘HOPPER RELEASE’ position. When the hopper is sitting flat, push down and turn anti-clockwise so that the arrow on the base of the hopper meets with one of the other two positions; whole beans or pre-ground coffee. See figures 1 and 2.

Figure 2
• Insert the drip tray. Simply slide the drip tray into the base of the espresso machine until it clicks into place on the right-hand side below the water reservoir. See figure 3.
• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet. Then open the flap of the power cord compartment and stow away the remaining cable. See figure 4.

Filling of water and switching on your Café Barista
Prior to switching on each time, check whether the water reservoir is filled with water. Every time the appliance is switched on or off, it needs water for the Auto Clean cycle.
Filling the appliance
• Slide out and remove the water reservoir from the appliance. See figure 5.
• Fill the water reservoir always with fresh, cold water. See figure 6.
Note: Fill only cold water into the water reservoir. Never fill with other liquids, such as mineral water or milk.
• Replace the water reservoir. Slide the water reservoir in and press firmly into place to ensure that the valve of the water reservoir opens. See figure 7.
Figure 5
™
Note: If the water reservoir is not correctly in position or if water needs to be refilled while the espresso machine is in operation, the water indicator illuminates. Making coffee will not be possible or the cycle will be interrupted.
Switching on the appliance
• Turn the power on at the power outlet and switch the espresso machine on by briefly pressing the ‘POWER’ button on the control panel. See figure 8.
Note: Please note that you only need to briefly press the ‘POWER’ button and that there is a slight delay until the light comes on.

• When the espresso machine is turned on it will go through an Auto Clean cycle. This removes any old coffee grinds from the coffee brewing unit.
• During the heating procedure the temperature indicator flashes. When the operating temperature is reached, the temperature indicator will stop flashing and remain constant. See figure 9.
• The espresso machine is now ready for operation.
Switching off your Café Barista
When the espresso machine is switched off by briefly pressing the power button on the control panel, another Auto Clean cycle is carried out and the coffee waste container indicator will flash as a reminder for approximately 1 minute.
If the espresso machine is switched off during a function by pressing the ‘POWER’ button all functions are immediately switched off.
